About
Three-year fellowships develop basic research on plant function at whole-organism and smaller scales. Applicants either bring expertise from another discipline into plant biology or acquire new methods with a mentor outside plant biology. One or two mentors may participate; with two mentors, at least one must research plants. Awards start between July and October 2027. Applications are due by noon Eastern time on 3 December 2026.
